Virginia K-C Peake is a multiple award winning and published Connecticut artist whose oil paintings are characterized by their rich color and are filled with light. Her subject matter includes waterscapes, landscapes, and florals painted in the style of contemporary realism with hints of impressionism. Patterns of sunlight are favorites where her continuing study of color is expressed. She is also sought after for her commissioned portraits.

Virginia undertook an extensive apprenticeship with Ken Wakeen. She continued her studies in art workshops, including those run by established artists such as Franklin Jones, Jack Flynn, Ovannes Berberian, John Budicin, Lois Griffel, Kevin McPherson and Louise Demore.

Virginia was born in Caracas, Venezuela. After moving to the United States, she lived in Darien, Connecticut. She is a graduate of Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. Her studio is located in Simsbury, Connecticut.
